I am an associate attorney with Kavanagh, Grumley & Gorbold, LLC, in Joliet Illinois. I joined the firm in May of 2017 aftering spending 6 years with the firm of Zukowski Law Offices. I primarily practice in Will, Grundy, DuPage and LaSalle counties. 

I earned a law degree from Northern Illinois University College of Law graduating cum laude, in May of 2013. During my 2nd and 3rd years at NIU I served as a research assistant for the Director of the Academic Success Program Jeanna Hunter.

Prior to attending Law School I graduated cum laude from Illinois Valley Community College with both an Associate in Arts and an Associate in Science degree. I went on to receive a Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Sciences from the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign in political science.

I practice primarily in the areas of general business representation (including business formation, business sales/purchases, annual business filings, and general business counsel), commercial law, not-for-profit organizations, real property (including purchases/sales/leasing of property), estate planning and estate administration.

Real Estate Closing
I hired Nathan to close the sale of a property for me. The closing was far from easy. It involved multiple parties and was postponed twice due to unforeseen circumstances. Nathan was easy to talk to and stayed on top of it each step of the way. He kept a level of communication up with each affected person making sure the deal went through cleanly. I am very appreciative of his service.
